EDH Staples

When building your EDH deck you will find that some of these EDH staples will help your decks strategy. These EDH Staples are more like suggestions. When building your EDH deck you should consider some of these EDH staples as well as checking out other deck builds for your Commander, and search for abilities that go well with your Commander at http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Default.aspx. If you have any suggestions about these EDH staples or see any cards I may have missed please let me know in the comment section or email me at tcwitherell@gmail.com

I feel that you are not looking at some of the better cards for the mono colored commanders and staples. Also some of the artifacts you decided to say were staples they are not real staples for a competitive player. you are also missing the planeswalkers. I really like the idea of your website. I’ve built a website like this but you have spend SO much time making yours.

Deck Building Guide

EDH Commander Deck Building Guide

1. If you do not know the rules for EDH already then make sure you learn them before creating your deck. Click here for EDH Rules.

2. When first building your EDH Deck determining your EDH General helps determine your strategy and what colors you use. Check out the EDH Generals List for ideas.

3. After select your General and know what colors you are using in your EDH Deck you will find that some Magic Cards will work well in most EDH decks with the same colors. Check out the list of EDH Staples.

4. If you are having trouble determining what deck strategy to use for your EDH Deck try looking at other deck with the same EDH General this will also give you an idea of what cards you can use. I suggest checking out http://tappedout.net/ to check out different decks.

5. Also when building an EDH deck many strategies revolve around specific abilities or creature types. The best way to find all the alternatives for these types and abilities is to do some research at http://gatherer.wizards.com/ and use the search function to your advantage.

6. When you are using a Multicolored deck you need to make sure you have a good variation of lands that produce different color mana. Check out some multi colored producing lands.(If you have a monocolored Commander you can skip checking out the multicolored producing lands of course)

7. After you find multicolored producing lands to make sure your mana base is sufficient check out lands that will support your deck strategy.

8.Test your new EDH deck out with your friends to best decide what your deck needs.
